About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of an animation studio? In Disney Animated, you and your friends step into the shoes of the team at Walt Disney Animation Studios with the mission of bringing five cinematic classics to life. But it's not just about drawing and painting; to get these movies off the ground, you'll need detailed background art, vibrant colors, and that perfect sound design that makes all the difference. The catch? The villains from these very films don't want the magic to happen! They'll try to sabotage your deadlines and cause as much chaos as possible during production.
To win, the group must work in total harmony. You'll need to manage and apply five fundamental pillars: Heart, Focus, Inspiration, Grit, and Teamwork. Each player brings unique abilities to the table, so coordination is the key to defeating the villains' traps and delivering the masterpieces on time. It's a cooperative game where communication is essential to balance production demands while fighting off malicious interference. If you can properly orchestrate the studio's resources, the magic happens and the movies hit the screens. Otherwise, the villains win the battle against the clock. Get your pencils ready, sharpen your focus, and good luck, because the deadline is tight and the pressure is on!
